Midnight at Murder Villa

By Reynold Starnes

The bad mage is back
Boyd Wright, the five-foot-eight slacker foul-mouthed magician anti-hero, is back. Slender, with teen idol looks, Boyd has spent his short life on the urban frontier in 21st Century America. The first eighteen years in an orphanage and the following decade among the occult nutcases in L.A. and Las Vegas. Boyd has little going for him except quick wits, acute paranoia, and a few magic tricks. Oh yeah, in exchange for the magic, Boyd has to deal with some things called the Others, trying to take over Earth. Big whoop.

This time around Boyd agrees to help a nice, attractive, German lady get rid of a nest of assassins who have taken over her high-end resort on the Gulf coast. No joke. Along with a crooked hacker and a slick thief, and armed with a half-baked idea, Boyd moves into the Villa at Gulf Shores.

How does Boyd defeat FOUR deadly assassins? Does Boyd meet an another Other? Who is Peter Pan? To uncover these and other mysteries, read on as Boyd faces peril in five-star luxury.
